The evidence keep piling on. Where was Kennedy shot? Dallas, Texas Where was Stephen Stills born? Dallas, Texas Where was McKinley shot? Buffalo, New York Where was Mr. Burns shot? Springfield What band did Stephen Stills perform in? Buffalo Springfield Where was Lincoln shot? On a stage. Where was Trump shot? On a stage. Where does Stills perform? On a stage. It all ties together. ---

There was a group chat for LEOs on the scene. From [here](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/28/us/politics/trump-shooting-thomas-crooks-secret-service.html) > At 5:38 p.m., the photos were shared in a group chat, and another text went out among the officers, saying they should inform the Secret Service. “Kid learning around building we are in. AGR I believe it is. I did see him with a range finder looking towards stage. FYI. If you wanna notify SS snipers to look out. I lost sight of him.” ---

Hooray for stovepiped bureaucracies such that all the local cops knew and none of SS did. I made a chunk of money 25 years ago with secure coordination software for just these kinds of _ad hoc_ inter-agency hootenanies. Shame SS never bought a license. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > “Kid learning around building we are in. AGR I believe it is. I did see him with a range finder looking towards stage. FYI. If you wanna notify SS snipers to look out. I lost sight of him.” The biggest question mark for me is: There were fucking cops in that building and they knew this kid was lurking around and they didn’t go out and check him out? Was the donut spread so large they couldn’t tear themselves away? Were these the least inquisitive cops on the planet? ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > …and they knew this kid was lurking around I think the answer is right here. They didn’t take him seriously because he looked like some harmless ‘kid’ just hanging around. ---

It shouldn’t, though, when you think of all the school shooters. Nerdy Asian kid would probably be a better cover. ---

Trump didn’t need to “blade” his ear. He didn’t need to fumble for a blood squib in his shoes. All he had to do was hide a blood squib under that ferret he calls “hair”, above and behind his ear, and it’d be basically invisible. He just swats at his ear when he hears the shot, popping the squib, and it sprays “blood”. Look at the spray pattern- it shoots _forward_, not back. ---
